The 10 Best Mobile Power Tool Bases

We spent 26 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top choices for this wiki. Any serious workshop will have a sizable collection of heavy, expensive power tools. That's all well and good — until it's time to move them. These mobile bases attach to the bottoms of your most substantial equipment, allowing you to roll them with ease, thanks to their casters. While all the options on this list are relatively stable, take care to make sure nothing tips over when moving it.

10. Delta 50-345

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

The 11-gauge steel brackets making up the Delta 50-345 are easy to slide over the lumber of your choice, so putting it together shouldn't be much of a hassle. You'll have to drill your own holes, but if you own heavy-duty woodworking gear, that's not a very tall task.

9. Rockler All-Terrain

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

As the name suggests, the Rockler All-Terrain isn't likely to be deterred by cracks, pebbles, power cables, or any other obstacles in your way. It takes a lot to slow down the 5-inch urethane wheels — just be careful not to roll them over your toes.

8. SawStop Industrial

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

When the SawStop Industrial isn't elevated and in use, it sits the machinery it's transporting completely on the ground. This takes all the weight off the casters, reducing the likelihood that they'll break and extending the lifespan of the unit.

7. PortaMate PM-3750

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

The PortaMate PM-3750 comes with a T-extension that enables you to move table saws and their leg supports simultaneously, preventing you from having to make two trips or take things apart — not to mention saving you from admitting you can't put them back together again.

6. Shop Fox D2058A

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

The Shop Fox D2058A has a pair of casters that swivel on one end, and two that are fixed on the other, enabling you to maneuver in tight spaces. The adjustable foot pads help keep the base level, so you don't have to worry about larger equipment tipping over when moved.

5. Woodstock D3757

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

You can stick a 3/4" plywood board between the brackets of the Woodstock D3757, creating a stable platform for tools and ensuring all the weight is evenly distributed. You may be able to use thicker lumber, but you'll need to find longer hardware than what's included.

4. HTC Adjustable HTC2000

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

The powder-coated steel rails on the HTC Adjustable HTC2000 make it clear that this thing means business. They can stand up to a ton of abuse, so don't worry about being delicate with it during the moving process — it can take care of itself.

3. Portamate PM-1100 Universal

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

The Portamate PM-1100 Universal raises your equipment by less than an inch, so you can still transport it easily without having it suddenly be too tall to work on. You'll hardly even realize the wheels are attached — until you need to move something, that is.

2. Rockler Woodworking and Hardware

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

If you're not sure how big of a contraption you'll have to relocate, go with the Rockler Woodworking and Hardware. You can customize how large you want it to be by adjusting how long you cut the boards, and its overall load capacity depends on the type of wood used.

1. Oasis Machinery MB800

REVIEW

DETAILS

SPECS

Simply put, the Oasis Machinery MB800 is built like a tank. Made of strong tubular steel, it's more than capable of handling any mistreatment you can conjure up, all while supporting up to a half-ton's worth of equipment without breaking a sweat.

Editor's Notes

February 28, 2019: A few of these models, including the HTC Adjustable HTC2000, come with their own rails, saving you from having to make your own out of hardwood or repurposed steel. The Woodstock D3757 earned high marks from us, but the levers aren't centered, so be careful you don't trip over them. If you plan on leaving your machine in the base at all times, the SawStop Industrial is a smart choice, as you can lower it to the floor so as not to put undue pressure on the casters or allow it roll away at an inopportune moment. Overall, though, you're unlikely to go too wrong with the Oasis Machinery MB800, as its stout frame will last for years, regardless of what you ask it to do.
